I am happy with the service received, however do feel that I could have had a courtesy call when my policy came up for renewal to discuss the reason for the increase etc. Luckily I have not claimed in the 3 years I have been with Dial Direct but I have also had no contact from customer service as a courtesy.

I would highly recommend Dial Direct as a car insurance provider as I've had no issues with them or the online portal for managing my insurance policy. However, I would like to make a suggestion that if a customer calls to make a claim on their car insurance, because of an accident, etc, and the vehicle is written off then the policy should automatically be cancelled, even if it means a conversation immediately with the customer. This to me seems logical as you cannot insure a car that no longer exists however, after my car was written off in an accident on 6th July, Dial Direct continues to take 3 more direct debit payments from me as "I" hadn't cancelled the policy. I've had numerous conversations with Dial Direct about the accident and at no point was I instructed that cancelling the policy would need to be done separately by me and not automatically as part of the claim. Now I'm being told that it will be cancelled with immediate effect and I'll lose the money paid in the last 3 payments.

Renewal price was cheaper than those on comparison web sites but alas did get cheaper quotes nearer renewal time but had already agreed to renew with DD. Luckily I have had no need to use them for any insurance claims so cannot comment on this aspect of the company. They do send postal copies, whereas some only send electronic, unfortunately my printer isn't working and not an item I can afford to replace. For that reason I would happily recommend them along with fact they were a lot cheaper than other suppliers and the increase to my premium was small, compared to some companies the media hype about the doubling of insurance premiums didn't help - although saying that when I first started checking them out there were a number of ridiculous prices quoted.

Renewed my car insurance and recovery service with Direct Dial. Thankfully so far I haven't put in a claim, so I can't speak for that side of the service. I do shop around annually for the best price/deal, but was happy with the renewal. So far so good.

Luckily I've not had to make an insurance claim so I can't comment on their suppory but when my renewal came around the slight increase in subscription was, I felt, acceptable. Far better than the way so called 'loyal customers' are treated by other insurers.

I have only had experience with this company in obtaining and renewing a policy, both acts were quite simply and straight forward with no problems.

The only complaint I have is you don't send out the policy. I don't have a printer so I can't print it out.
